1 race to go - weather permiting

18/08/08 | by Gabriella [mail] | Categories: My News

The last few days have been very unstable. On Friday we only managed to get 1 race done because of the conditions, starting at 9knots and ending at 12knots I managed to finish in 16th place, my best finish so far;) but was classed 15th eventually. A storm then arose forcing the cancellation of the start & we eventually raced late in the evening.

On Sunday I managed only 23rd (after the last race a disapointment) and the next race I managed 25th. 16knots (4 Beaufort) at the start falling dramaticly as the race went on, the 2nd race 22knots to 20knots (6/5 Beaufort).

Today, the wind was fairly good (5 beaufort/16-7knots) but I couldn't manage much better than previous days ending in 22nd place and the next race I finished in 20th with the wind starting a light brezze, falling in the middle only to rise again.

Overall, with a race to go I'm in 22nd spot with a good chance to go higher and can only drop another place unless I have a disastorous last race. The same thing applies to go higher - I need a great race and the others to have a bad one.

So, tommorow will be my last race & hope to go better than the previous races.
